Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 skin-on bone-in chicken breast halves
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup frozen orange juice concentrate
4 tablespoons honey

Directions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Liberally salt and pepper the chicken breast halves. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat and sear the chicken, skin side only, until brown and beginning to crisp, about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, make the orange glaze: In a small saucepan, heat the orange juice concentrate, honey, and salt and pepper, to taste, over medium heat, and boil for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.

Turn the chicken over and brush each piece with the glaze. Turn the chicken skin side up and transfer the pan to the oven. Bake until the internal temperature reaches 160 to 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, brushing on more glaze halfway through, about 15 minutes in total. Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes on a cutting board. Remove the chicken breast from the bone and slice the meat on the bias. Transfer the chicken to a serving platter and serve.

A Hit!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe was fabulous! It tasted like my aunt's signature dish. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts, added some... orange zest in the sauce and cooked some orange slices with the chicken . I served the chicken breast with a slice of orange on top and made sweet potato baked fries as a side. Delicious dinner!Read more

Too easy, too inexpensive and too tasty good to be true, but it is!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We loved it to the last morsel. Great side dish idea: I made a package of saffron yellow rice, cooked it in chicken broth,... with 1 & 1/2 tsp currie powder and 1/2 a cup of large golden raisins. It had that sweet and savory thing going on and was great with the pan sauce from the chicken. For company I might add a touch of orange zest. Yummy good!Read more

Tastes Expensive!

Used skinless boneless chicken and it came out great. Made its own "skin". I will definitely make this one again!
